    When John was running, the text indicates he was running with the mindset of “He loves me, he loves me, he loves me.”

    Title of the Message: “Why John outran Peter?” John records that he outran Peter to the empty tomb? This message is speculation, but I believe that the trues are very acurate. In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more

    How important is the resurrection to us as Christians? It may carry more importance than you thought.

    I love this particular season. Easter holds with me a special place. There is just something about this particular time, and what it means to Christianity, that somehow seems to excite me. One thing that is normal for Easter is that you get a lot of visitors to come to church. That can be ...read more
